I've been around a few days but just saw this thread.
Howdy!
I had an 8.4kW system installed on my home about 2 months ago. I have 16-300w panels on the southern exposure of the roof and 12-300w on the west facing roof. They are feeding a grid-tied SolarEdge 7600 inverter. I am interested in wringing as much as technically possible out of them.
While I am generally happy with the system I want to eventually get into the experimental stage. I had to have them installed and permitted for the city and fed credits but I think I can start to tinker now. Perhaps, eventually moving the western panels to some type of tracking system.
I was in construction and construction management before getting into IT about 20 years ago. The overall electrical aspect is not really an issue for me (hey, I know ohms law )but some of the panel and inverter tech is definitely new to me. While I'm familiar with RS-485, I also hope to learn more about the modbus specs and how to monitor the SE from a system other than the SE cloud.
